A/N: Hey guys, White here! I'm back with my first foray into the Drake & Josh universe. I've always been a big fan of the sitcom, but I never had the confidence to try and write for it, until now. This one is a simple one-shot meant to gauge how well I know the characters. Hope you enjoy it guys.

Melissa or Wendy as she preferred to be called gazed longingly at the handsome brown-haired musician of her 9-year-old affections from afar as she watched him strum his guitar: Drake Parker.

She knew she was much too young for him and that hurt a little, but that didn't stop her from being in love with him.

Drake was such a charmer with the girls that Wendy wouldn't have been surprised if he had started dating a few supermodels on and off.

Who could resist such Hollywood-like good looks?

Wendy knew she couldn't.

That much was true, especially given that she had accidentally embarrassed him at school trying to express her love for him.

It broke her heart to see the boy of her dreams so angry at her and she knew at that point that she'd have to give Drake some space.

Sooner or later, he'd come around and maybe she'd get her happily-ever after.

Most did, right?

Wendy looked up at Drake and smiled sweetly.

Drake looked back at her, and chuckled softly, smiling back.

Wendy's heart fluttered a little at Drake's beautiful and charismatic smile as she watched him walk away.

He may not have said he loved her but he at least acknowledged her and smiled at her.

That was enough for her.

Her heart would go on and maybe someday they'd be together...

The End!
